I think one of the UO this week was something about why you'd ever buy Babiators for your kid. Well, today I became an UO. On our car ride to nearby city, L was complaining about the sun in his eyes so I told him we'd get him a pair of sunglasses. I've been wanting him to wear some for ever but he's been resistant so I wanted to jump on this chance to get him in a pair.
These beauties were the only brand the store carried. I love them and he does too! UO be damned! ]
Really? Man we love them! Ds is on his second pair. He gets compliments on the everywhere. They are awesome.

I want to go to bed but I can hear the Kenny Chesney concert a few miles from here. We can't hear most concerts but there's a lot of bass with this one. Get off my lawn Kenny!!
We went to the Sox game last night, drank too much and got home late. Definitely paid for that today. Had a few family members over for lunch and I had to mix myself a vodka drink at 11:30 to take the edge off the hangover. Then I got to take an hour long nap while L took her afternoon nap and it was possibly the best, most restorative nap I've ever taken.
Ok well solo bedtime was a complete disaster. All 3 of us were crying at one point and I yelled way too much. Ds2 is finally asleep but I am afraid to put him down. It took 1.5 hours to get him this asleep.
I really want a beer and some Swedish fish though.
Tucking in the kids, then I need a shower. After like a month of not washing my hair is finally starting to look a little oily. I'm not sure of that is a confession or a bragplaint.
Feels like a bragplaint. Signed, lady who can't go 48 hours without turning into a grease ball and is irrationally jealous because showers... Ain't nobody got time for that.
Ugh I'm still so sad about Dd. We got her into the neurodevelopmental pedi in September. (Which is amazing) Thank goodness that our neighbor up the street randomly is the medical director of the clinic. Too much wine tonight. Tomorrow will be a better day. I just want my mommy

I am putting DS to bed. I've been nursing a bottle of wine all day. So if this kid doesn't want to sleep; he can have my job.
It's been 48 hours without turning in the AC. Halle-fucking-lujah. It never reached more than 78 degrees in here and we had a steady breeze through all the windows. I am so ready for summer to be over. So fucking ready.
A woman on NextDoor asked if anyone had a carseat she could borrow for a 2.5 year old for a few days. She's out of town, but her mom just got custody of a relative's kiddos and needs a seat for a few days until she's back in town. She said that with no carseat, the mom was stuck in the house with the kids and couldn't go anywhere.
No problem, we have FF carseat that we're not using (bought it for travel when C outgrew his Scenara) and it's just been sitting in the garage. So I offered to take it over. First time, there was nobody home, house was completely dark, nobody playing out back, car was in the driveway. Okay, maybe they walked down to the park so the kids could play. So I offered to try again tonight. Got a message that they were home, could I try again. No problem, I drive over. House is dark, nobody out back, nobody answered the doorbell, car that was there this afternoon was gone. I stayed for a few minutes just in case they came back, then gave up.
I feel bad thinking that the mom is driving around with no carseat for the kiddo when I have one she can use for free. But ain't nobody got time to try going over a third time when they are never home even though they are "stuck at home."
Also, my kid watches entirely too much YouTube. He has learned to count backwards by counting down the the time left until he can skip the ads. "5-4-3-2-1, Skip Ad!" On one hand, it's awesome that my 2 year old can count backward from 5. But on the other, I think he watches too much YouTube!
VillainV- I wouldn't go back a third time either. If I knew you were coming by for the second time I would have watched out the window and come to the door before you ran the bell.
I just got home after working 11 hrs. Im glad I get to sleep in tomorrow but then I still have to work 11 hrs, I just don't start until 1pm. But yay for sleeping in.
DH got a lot done today which was awesome, but it ate up all of his time right up til bedtime for dd. I'm already a SAHM so this solo parenting all weekend (for like the third weekend in a row) is getting really old.
Marriage is hard, man. DH was driving this morning on our way to an out of town birthday party. There was a lane closed up ahead (local road not highway) and this car got in the lane that was closing and was trying to cut us off. Instead of just letting it happen DH sped up and was like drag racing the dude. I yelled and then he was basically in a shitty mood all day because of it. Like I was swimming at the party and the baby pooped and he acted like the world's biggest martyr for changing a poopy diaper. Then he got mad I had plans with my Little tonight - even though I took the three year old so he basically had a night to himself. He thinks I don't consider his feelings, etc etc. I'm just so sick of having to be around him when he is in a mood.
DS has been damn adorable today- until bedtime. He's still awake and it's 11:00! He's cried out for me 3 times. DH went in the last time, then came back to our room saying "he wants you, mommy." Well, no shit, that's why he's screaming "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" over and over again. So, I go in and rock him until he wiggles out of my arms and decides to plant himself in our bed. (DH has conveniently decided to make himself a late night snack right about now). Ugh! DH leaves tomorrow for his 3rd (and longest) trip on three weeks. I need this kid to sleep this week!

I'm side eyeing the shit out of your H for basically playing car chicken with the kids in the car. I'd have done more than yell.
Thank you hermione. I do have serious driving anxiety so sometimes I'm a bad passenger but he literally put all of our lives at risk just to show someone off? I was so mad. And then he was mad that I stopped him! He really doesn't see my side and it's so frustrating.

We did a killer hike with our friends today. We took the kids, 4, 3, 1, 3 months and 3 dogs! Amazingly no one was majorly hurt, and we gorged on ziti and meatballs after. I also had a big drink, lol.
